• Caused by red ring nematode – Bursaphelenchus cocophilus
• First described on coconut palms in 1905
• Vectored by South American palm weevil – Rynchophorus palmarum
• Infects and damages mainly coconut and oil palms. May affect other members of Palmae family

Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera)
African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis)
Distribution of the Nematode• Located in the Neotropics
– Mexico– Central and South America
• Such as Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador
– Some Caribbean countries• Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad
and Tobago

Identification of the Nematode
• About 1mm in length• Too tiny to be
recognized by naked eyes
• Closely related to pine wood nematode – B. xylophilus

Adult of Rhynchophorus palmarum
Distribution of the Vector
• Located in the Neotropics– Caribbean
• Such as Grenada, Guadeloupe, and Martinique– North America
• It has been detected in California and Texas, though it is not established there
– Central and South America• Such as Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Belize,
Costa Rica, and El Salvador

Monitoring and Management• Most effective method is
phytosanitation– Enforcement of phytosanitary
actions to prevent the import of palms infested with weevil vectors of the red ring nematode
• Monitoring programs of the weevil vector (R. palmarum) of the red ring nematode using aggregation pheromone traps
Trap with lure for the insect vector
